Struggles

Man, it's been more than a week since I've blogged/read the word according to the plan, and I feel like it's been longer. It's been harder for me to focus on God recently, because I feel that I've been caught up in all of the other things in my life. I remembered to read today though, and look at what God has in store for me: "The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge" It's safe to say that I've been struggling in taking refuge in God, and allowing Him to take over in my life. I've had this feeling before, of lacking passion in God because of the regular cycle of life. Even in a youth staff prayer meeting on Sunday, the first thing God put on my heart was pursuing God's presence, and breaking chains that hold us back. I feel the need to stop worrying about my family's situations, or my classes, or even the studying that I'll have to do over the summer, but it's really hard to stop worrying and putting it before God. It's time to go back to square one.
